i second what pinholecam bas said. you can visit your nearest public library and look for photography books. those really old ones not the recent ones. let me dig up some nice books and get back to you on that

talk about persistence. getting better there norman. this one works for me. but something about her hair blending with the window curtains and the hidden foot on the chair. but otherwise great model pose. i guess that is one tough skill to master with the model blending in the environment. one...

question would be, what do you shoot? why do you feel the kit lens is holding you back? selling 18-105 for a 24-70.. you gain a stop on the wide end and 2 stops on the telephoto end... you lose coverage.. 18-24 and 70-105 24-70 is a weird focal length on a dx sensor. and it's not much...

now this is what i call progress... nice set norman. love the punchiness and the colors...

looks like ts is looking to upgrade the camera body :) coming from a d40 many years ago where there is limited afs lenses. compare it to now that you really have relatively affordable afs lenses with awesome iq that can keep up with the current 24megapixel nikon cameras i now have a d3300...

Hi, not shooting down sigma or anything but the nikkor 1.8G primes are one of the best when it comes to price/weight/performance. sigma is shooting for the pro 1.4 Nikkors for a cheaper price and some recent lenses have been praised for their optical qualities. (read: sharpness ) but there...

Hi, 85mm 1.8g is a good lens for head and shoulders shot. but its going to be tight indoors unless you have a big room or something. in that case, you can switch to your 35mm. they (the 35mm and 85mm) complement each other nicely i'm planning to get the 35mm dx next as i already...

i don't think you can charge via powerbank. going full charge on your battery plus the spare AAA's will last you the whole day. 2 AAA's capacity is about a third of the grdiv's battery based on my personal experience, went around hk for a whole day about a year ago. it was about early...

Hi shadow grdiv accepts 2 AAA batteries. just buy rechargeables. get eneloops for the low discharge so even if they sit unused for a long time you can use them. for customizations, i dont think you can mix b/w and positive film. you can set my1 and my2 accordingly example set my1 for...

i have been using capture nx2 for years now and it's very good at what it does. processing NEFs i've been playing with nx-d for a couple of weeks now and i would say it's not ready for serious work. even the jpeg export is broken. it doesnt apply the adjustments i made. i already raised this...

Hi Jace, that's a nice shot. Question, do you do a lot of Highlight/shadow pulling in post ? i think that's because the D3300 NEF is a compressed 12-bit vs a uncompressed 14-bit on the d800. in that area, the d3300 is crippled as it does not retain much details due to the data compression...

I mostly shoot wide open. And for the 85mm, the DoF is crazy thin, you have to rely on AF Accuracy. Coming from a D200, i thought the AF Module is similar ( Multi Cam 1000 ) love the weight savings though :)

Hi, how is the AF accuracy with this? i'm using one with the 85mm f/1.8G and quite hard to get the focus spot-on. mine usually front focuses a bit
